Far-right British activist Tommy Robinson is standing to be a member of the European Parliament, he announced Thursday.

Robinson — real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon — is an adviser to UKIP leader Gerard Batten but will be standing as an independent in the northwest of England because he is barred from joining the Euroskeptic party (UKIP has a blanket ban in place on allowing former members of the British National Party and the English Defence League to join).

In a statement on his website, Robinson said the election is the time to “fight back. Put me right inside the EU and they won’t know what hit them. They’ll long for the days when it was just Nigel Farage.

“I admire what Farage achieved in the past. But at the end of the day, he’s just another millionaire stockbroker who looks down at the working classes.”

Robinson said he would fight against the “Islamification of Britain” and “represent you, the working class of England. Whether it’s enforcing our borders and cutting back on immigration, or taking back our national sovereignty to make British decisions in Britain.”
